              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)     Basis of Presentation

        The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
        Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
        Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the interim periods
        shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be
        expected for the fiscal year. In the opinion of management, the
        information contained herein reflects all adjustments necessary to make
        the results of operations for the interim periods a fair statement of
        such operations. For further information, refer to the financial
        statements and footnotes thereto, included in the Annual Report on Form
        10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year
        ended March 29, 1997.

(2)     Business Combination

        Effective June 27, 1997 Giga-tronics completed a merger with Viking
        Semiconductor Equipment, Inc. (Viking), hereafter collectively referred
        to as the Company, by issuing approximately 420,000 shares of the
        Company's common stock in exchange for all of the common stock of
        Viking. The merger has been accounted for using the pooling-of-interest
        method of accounting and accordingly, the consolidated financial
        statements for periods prior to the combination have been restated to
        include the accounts and results of operations of Viking. The results of
        operations previously reported by the separate enterprises and the
        combined amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated financial
        statements are summarized below:

        Prior to the combination, Viking's fiscal year ended May 31. In
        recording the pooling-of-interest combination, Viking's financial
        statements for the twelve months ended March 31, 1997 were combined with
        Giga-tronic's financial statements for the same period and Viking's
        financial statements for the year ended May 31, 1996 were combined with
        Giga-tronic's financial statements for the year ended March 30, 1996. An
        adjustment has been made to shareholders' equity for fiscal 1997 to
        eliminate the effect of including Viking's results of operations for the
        two month period ended May 31, 1996, in both the years ended March 31,
        1997 and 1996.

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


        Viking manufactures and markets a line of optical inspection equipment
        used to manufacture and test semiconductor devices. Products include die
        attachments, automatic die sorters, tape and reel equipment, and wafer
        inspection equipment.


(3)     Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
        Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per
        share" (SFAS No. 128). SFAS No. 128 establishes a different method of
        computing net income per share than is currently required under the
        provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15. Under SFAS No.
        128, the Company will be required to present both basic net income per
        share and diluted net income per share. Basic net income per share is
        expected to be higher than the currently presented income per share as
        the effect of dilutive stock options will not be considered in computing
        basic net income per share. Diluted net income per share is expected to
        be comparable to earnings per share as presented in the accompanying
        consolidated financial statements. The Company plans to adopt SFAS No.
        128 in its fiscal quarter ending December 27, 1997 and at that time all
        historical net income per share data presented will be restated to
        conform to the provisions of SFAS No. 128.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                      OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 28, 1997 AND JUNE 29, 1996

The forward-looking statements included in Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which reflect management's
best judgment based on factors currently known, involve risks and uncertainties.
Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including but not
limited to those discussed below. Forward-looking information provided by
Giga-tronics pursuant to the safe harbor established by recent securities
legislation should be evaluated in the context of these factors.

Net sales for the three month period ended June 28, 1997 decreased 7.8%
($670,000) compared to the same period last year principally due to declining
signal generator (SG) sales volume. The change resulted from a decrease of
approximate $2.0 million in the SG product line and $.5 million in the switching
modules product line, which were partially offset by an increase of
approximately $1.3 million in power measurement products (PM) and $.5 million in
the semiconductor equipment related products. The decline in SG sales is
attributable to maturing of the product line, delays in new product releases and
continued constraints on military budgets. The change in switching modules
reflects normal fluctuations between periods due to timing of large orders. The
increase in the PM products is due to new product releases and growth in the
commercial wireless telecommunications market. The growth in semiconductor
products reflects increased manufacturing throughput.

Gross profit for the three month period increased by 13.4% ($432,000) despite
the lower sales volume due principally to lower manufacturing labor costs. The
total numbers of employees declined 10% over the prior year to 203 people. Gross
margin as a percent of sales increased to 46.1% for the first quarter of fiscal
1998 compared to 37.5% for the first quarter of fiscal 1997.

Operating expenses increased to 37.4% of sales in the first quarter of fiscal
year 1998 compared to 32.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. Actual spending
increased 6.1% ($170,000) principally due to higher advertising expenses and
sales and administrative salaries related to the semiconductor product line.

Interest income increased $17,000 over the prior year due to higher cash
available for investment as a result of positive earnings.

Earnings before income taxes for the three month period increased 68.6%
($284,000) compared to the same period last year. The change was primarily due
to improved gross margins partially offset by higher operating expenses.

Orders for the three month period were 7.4% lower ($597,000) than the same
period last year. Orders were lower for switching modules and semiconductor
products caused by normal fluctuations between periods for large orders. Backlog
at June 1997 was $7,162,000 compared to $7,593,000 at the March year end.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company maintains a strong financial position, with working capital of
$21,303,000 and a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 4.6 at June
28, 1997. The Company continues to fund all of its working capital needs from
cash provided by operations. Cash provided from operations for the three month
period ended June 28, 1997 was $610,000.

During the three month period, the Company spent $224,000 on new manufacturing
and test equipment and other capital items. The Company will continue to invest
in capital items that support growth and new product development, raise
productivity and improve quality. Historically the Company has satisfied its
cash needs internally for both operating and capital expenses, and management
expects to continue to do so.

Management believes that cash reserves and investments remain adequate to meet
anticipated operating needs. In the near term, cash will be used to liquidate
the debt of the acquired Viking Semiconductor Equipment subsidiary. It is also
the Company's intention to increase research and development expenditures for
the purpose of broadening its product base. From time to time, the Company
considers a variety of acquisition opportunities to also broaden its product
lines and expand its market. Such acquisition activity could also increase the
Company's operating expenses and require the additional use of capital
resources.
